Market experts suggest that investors should book profits now and adopt a ‘Buy on Dip’ strategy.

RVNL, the infrastructure arm of Indian Railways, undertakes projects for construction of new lines, doubling of tracks, railway electrification, metro projects, construction of major bridges, workshops, cable stayed bridges and institute buildings.

Analysts suggest that though the stock has given good returns, it has entered an overbought zone which can make the investment risky. There is a strong possibility that the stock will soon see a decline.

Pravesh Gaur, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastik Investmart suggests that investors should adopt a buy on dip strategy for RVNL stock.

According to Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager, Technical Research Analyst, Anand Rathi Shares & Stockbrokers, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. stock is not a good buy at current levels. Hence, investors should wait till the stock reaches the price of Rs 90, then this stock can be included in the portfolio for the long term.
